ORC Summer Picnic |
|
|
|
Thanks to Dave Virtus for organizing the
annual summer picnic at Kelly Park/Rock
Springs. Everyone had a great time. The
weather was beautiful, and the cool spring
waters felt great on the legs of everyone
that completed a long run that morning.
Thanks to Miki Ito for capturing the event
in pictures.
